Lee Daniels' The Butler

LEE DANIELS’ THE BUTLER
A “biopic” so filled with apocryphal clichés and soap operatic overacting that it’s more fiction than fact, further tainted by head-scratchingly misguided stunt casting (John Cusack as Nixon?!?!). The civil rights struggle was handled with more depth and complexity on GOOD TIMES. How does pap like this become so venerated?
